Airbus has again selected Cavotec to supply innovative in-ground utility systems for several of their production facilities, including Tianjin in China, Mobile in Alabama in the US, and Hamburg in Germany, continuing a long-term relationship with Cavotec, and highlighting how Cavotec is seen as a trusted partner in the airport equipment industry and beyond.
As part of our on-going commitment to improving safety at airport gates, hangars and aprons, we are currently supporting our customers to retrofit Cavotec hydrant pit systems to meet a recent requirement announced by the Joint Inspection Group (JIG).
Our Centre of Excellence outside Frankfurt, Cavotec Fladung, recently welcomed a group of colleagues from our partner airport equipment supplier ADELTE, along with staff from Islamabad's new international airport. The Cavotec Fladung team were delighted to open the centre’s doors, and give a guided tour of the advanced production and R&D facilities at the Dietzenbach site.
Our innovative Cavotec 2500+ 400Hz solid state frequency converter unit continues to gain traction in the global ground support (GSE) market, with the US being the latest in a growing number of countries where the unit is safely and efficiently meeting the greater power demands of modern passenger aircraft.
Weather and climate have significant impacts on airport operations. Harsh weather conditions cause millions of dollars of damage each year, and cause disruption. The build-up of snow, ice, and slush affects aircraft access to runways, and risks disruption to ground handling services on aprons. While the weather cannot be controlled, airports do have solutions available to mitigate its impact.
Join us at inter airport Europe 2017 this week, where we're demonstrating how our advanced Ground Support Equipment - including 400Hz, PCA, wet services, fuel hydrant and tank farm systems – support airports and MRO hangars worldwide to make aircraft servicing safer, cleaner, and more efficient.
Work is underway to install specially designed Cavotec Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) systems for Dubai International Airport’s Concourse C upgrade that will rapidly cool wide-bodied aircraft up to the largest aircraft, Airbus A380 – even in hot and humid conditions common to Dubai – and thereby enhance passenger comfort and operational efficiency, and reduce environmental impact.
